How much to charge for renting points?

[Maddykins06]

How do you know how much to charge?

 

[Jerry@dvcstore]

The average rental price for a DVC point is $10, I have seem them as High as $15 per point and as low as $6. $10 is the norm.
If you ask me, $10 is still low.

Take a look to see what others offer at. "Short-term" points that are in distress are worth a little less than average. Points able to book far in the future are worth a little bit more. Also, ask yourself whether you'd prefer to rent them quickly, or for the best possible price?

The longer range points that can be rented at a desirable property seem to be in the $11-$13 range

How much do you want for your points? Ask. If you get that much, great. If not, keep lowering your price until you do.

It may depend on how quickly you need to get rid of them. You can "fire sale" them and get rid of them quickly, but you won't make as much. Or you can hold out for $13-15 a point and they may not move so fast.

But if there is nothing available to use them on, you won't be able to move them at all. Non-members don't usually like to have to pay the additional $95 to book a non-DVC resort and with the points, they may wind up paying even more than going directly through Disney.

You're competing with the deals that Disney is offering, too. You can't offer free dining or a few free days.

Take your annual dues plus 10% of the current point cost and charge that. Example (Estimates) annual dues $5 current cost $100 equals $5 plus $10 (10% nice return) equals $15 a point. At $10 a point you are getting a average 4-6% retrun on your investment, not to mention your expenses to rent. I know some say they bought in at $50, but this makes no difference. Do you evaluations on current value, not purchase price. Would you sell me your 1956 chevy at 1956 prices? No, it would be based on current value.
